Since 2005 I've been doing a weekly comedy podcast called Manic Mondays. For 11 years I have produced this 15 to 20 minute comedy show which is rapidly approaching its 500th episode. Just think, that's almost 17 minutes of quality content!

Well now those of you who have a little extra money and want to support my stupid endeavors can do so with our new Patreon campaign! Patreon is like Kickstarter, except unlike Kickstarter it's an ongoing subscription rather than a one-time pledge, and also unlike Kickstarter you only pay when I produce content. I can't help you if you didn't get that edible R2-D2 desk lamp you pledged for, but I can assure you that you won't be charged if I miss an episode or two.

You can pledge as little as $1 per episode, set a monthly limit, and cancel at any time. When you pledge you'll get a shout-out on the next episode, and people who pledge a little more get some extra perks, such as a sticker, outtakes, or even sponsorship of an episode. See the campaign for details.

All the money raised from the campaign will be split 50/50 with Seamonkey who works tirelessly behind the scenes each week editing the podcast.

I need to give a big thank you to everyone who showed up and helped out at FuMPFest! The event was amazing. Several people told me this was the best FuMPFest ever, so that\’s a good sign.

We did have a lot of things go wrong. We weren\’t able to record the sets in multitrack like we did last year. And Storm-one half of our Guest of Honor duo-fell down a flight of stairs. Despite a broken thumb and likely torn somethingorother in his knee he returned from the hospital in time to put on a fantastic show.

Big thank you to Luke and Ian for helping me plan it, Chris for running sound, Jayekitty for wrangling the volunteers and running Table 27, my father for running the green room and taking Storm to the hospital, the Dorsai Irregulars for providing security, our amazing artists who put on fantastic concerts without exception, and all the fans who came out and celebrated funny music with us all weekend.

We\’ve already started planning for next year. Hopefully we\’ll have dates and guests ready to announce shortly. Stay tuned!
